Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk rich and creamy, acts as the base
  • 1/2 cup butter adds depth and helps set the fudge
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips melts into a silky texture, sweet and rich
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract brings out sweetness and depth
  • a pinch salt enhances flavor
  • 1 cup candy corn vibrant and chewy, the star of the fudge

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed saucepan
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture starts to bubble gently.
  3. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches around 115°C (soft ball stage) and is glossy and smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Add the white chocolate chips to the hot mixture and stir continuously until fully melted and silky smooth.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, blending well into the mixture.
  6. Quickly fold in the candy corn, making sure they are evenly coated and distributed throughout the mixture.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. The mixture will be thick and glossy.
  8. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
  9. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and place on a cutting board.
  10. Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into neat squares. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
  11. Enjoy your vibrant, chewy candy corn fudge, perfect for holiday gatherings or a festive treat!

Notes

Ensure your mixture reaches the soft ball stage for the ideal chewy texture. Stir constantly to prevent burning, and let the fudge cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
